Papago Handwoven Basket, Vintage, Plate, 7" x 1"

This vintage Papago handwoven basket plate showcases the exceptional artistry and skill of the Tohono O’odham weavers. Crafted from natural desert fibers, it features an intricate spiral pattern created by interlacing lighter and darker strands, producing a striking sense of motion and symmetry. The tightly coiled center transitions seamlessly into the radiating design, demonstrating both precision and balance. Traditionally, flat basket plates like this were used for winnowing, serving food, or ceremonial purposes, making them highly valued functional art pieces. The warm, earthy tones reflect the natural materials of the Sonoran Desert, giving it an organic beauty. This piece carries with it the cultural heritage and weaving traditions passed down through generations. Both decorative and functional, it is a timeless example of Native American basketry at its finest.
